I think the change that Airbnb have announced, in how prices will be displayed e.g in the US, is great. I'm sure guests in the US will welcome the oportunity to see the full price of their planned stay (and the break down), long before they come to the last step of the booking process. To be better able to compare listings, and make a good decision, with less time wasted.
As many several others have mentioned;
In Europe, prices in search results have been including all fees and tax for a long time.
You have also been able to see the split between the price per night, the cleaning fee (if there is one) and the Airbnb service feee. So I guess not much will change here - apart from the fact that the "Service fee" will now apparently be correctly called "Airbnb service fee" - which I think is good.
However, I do very much welcome the news that "checkout chores" will now apparently be visible for guests before booking, so guests can weigh this into their decision. This will give even more transparency into "what you pay, and what you get" (for guests) - or "what you charge, and what you offer" (for hosts).
I do not charge a cleaning fee, and I have a "walk away" approach - turn of the A/C, lock the door, key in the box.
I know this way of working will not suit every host. My listing is a tinyhouse in my garden, and I host small groups of guests who stay 2-7 days. Easy. For others, cleaning fees and a short list of checkout chores will be be better/neccessary.
So of course Airbnb should not in any way try to restrict hosts on which checkout chores they can ask guests to handle - and I hope they will not. But I think it is fair to expect that these chores are visible to the guests when booking. Again - transparency.
Hoping for more improvements like this, and not too many "bad surprises" in the "Winter Release"! 🙂
